no way! Ghibli films are pretty low down on teh scale of anime goodness. The ONLY Ghibli film i like is Castle in the Sky, and one of the main reason's I like it is because the two English Voice actors are Anna Paquin and James Van Der Beak. Who i know as Rogue (from the X-Men Movies) and Dawson (from Dawson's Creek).
The stories of Ghibli are all VERY Mediocre. nothing to brag about.

I think a part of my brain just exploded....Yeah...Ow....OK. First off, I couldn't stand the voice of James Van Der Beak in Castle in the Sky. Second, LOW Down? Low Down? Where is this scale of anime goodness that you are referring to? Third, Mediocre....VERY mediocre......(Looks in dictionary)   :icon_study:  Adj. 1. mediocre - moderate to inferior in quality ..... I just... can't think.... world crashing down..... Totoro plushies crying... don't know what to say....head explodie...::gah:: :tard:

aha... ok so i exaggerated XD
let me rephrase:
Studio Ghible isn't everyones cup o tea XD
I like CitS because of the voices (they were awesome in english) and some bits of the story were funny.
thats about it. The originality of the movie were good and clever, the visuals are stunning (for backgrounds) the people however... i don't think the artists know how to draw people very well.

Spirited Away same thing, The voices were good and the movie was interesting (most interesting i've seen in a Long while) but the ONE single thing that made me not like the movie very much at all... is that horrible old lady. Everytime she comes on screen i wanna puke. so i never watch it, instead i curse and hurt it XD lol

does that make you happy?

But it was Yuubaba that made the movie. If it weren't for her, there would be no plot. I couldn't stand her either, but it helped the plot.

yubbaba was an ugly old hag, for her to be important ruins the movie, hence its crappiness

I'm feeling better now.
Well, Yuubaba was a freak, but I find that being grossed out by her appearance just added to my movie watching experience.

I really couldn't stand Yuubaba, but I did like Zeniba. I don't judge by looks, I judge by personality. That's where real beauty lies.

couldn't stand her as well but that's how she's supposed to be right?
(being evil old hag and all)

hmm, just thought of something, in most Ghibli movies i saw there's an old hag
who is important to the story
Perhaps a trademark of Ghibli? :confused

Um, wait...... Anime ugly people or all ugly people? Like, do real life ugly people make you sick? How sick? Barfing sick? Do you vomit on ugly people? :puke: That's not very..... nice sounding.

:wav: Spirited Away FOREVER AND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :wav:

*starts humming the movie theme*  :keke:

I love HAKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :love4:

Just for you to get an idea, I can't decide between Haku and Syaoran  :happy4: Believe it or not!!!!  :greengrin:

I also like Princess Mononoke and I am dying to see TOTORO!!! I have seen the cat returns, but I don't really mind it, because my favorite director and animator is Miyazaki-sensei, and I focus mainly on his movies...  :sweatdrop:

I am saving ALL of my money to go to Tokyo and to the Ghibli museum, I know it may be only a wish but I PROMISED myself I would be there someday.....  :sleepy5:

Spirited Away, I love that movie, shall always love it, and I don't care what other people may think, it will always be my favorite movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :inlove:

Mmm.. I have only seen Mononoke-hime, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi and Neko no Ongaeshi.  I have and interest for others too, but they are simply too expensive - and I'm not sure are those Region3 publications they sell everywhere legal or not. It's weird to have mandarin chinese next to english.

I'm pretty pissed of I didn't got a change to see Howl at theaters, but it will probably come as DVD later this year - but I'm not sure at all if I wanna get finnish sub and dub >_>

And what comes to my favourite: It's Mononoke.
Sen to blah-blah-too-long-name runned too slow - and Neko no Ongaeshi dashed too fast from the beginnin to the ending.

I'm a poor child, I didn't see Totoro when it came from tv when I was a small child. Almost every of my friend has seen it in their childhood. Doh. Porco Rosso was also in tv back then. Missed it too >_>
